PESO - All In A Row

[Tom C]

I'm with Ken.  I like the color version better and I too often find that 
converting to B&W does little for the picture, IMO.

My other thought is that a skinnier panorama would be more desirable and the 
clumpy foreground grass in the lowest part of the picture does not add 
anything.

The peacefulness of the scene is pleasant.
